EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail of the St. John the Baptist Chapel in Genoa's Duomo, also known as St. Lawrence Cathedral. The focal point of the image is "The Ark of the relics of St. John the Baptist" an exquisite masterpiece created by the Master of the Ark of the Baptist during France's first half of the 13th century. The intricately designed Ark takes on the form of a religious building and is ingeniously crafted to be raised, allowing viewers to catch a glimpse through its central hole at a silver shrine believed to hold Saint John's ashes. This sacred relic was brought to Genoa in 1098, adding immense historical significance to this architectural marvel. In this particular detail captured by photographer Ghigo Roli, we witness two significant scenes depicted on panels within The Ark: Herodias receiving Saint John's severed head and Salome's dance – both pivotal moments from biblical narratives surrounding Saint John. Roli skillfully brings out every intricate detail and delicate brushstroke in his photograph, highlighting not only artistic mastery but also preserving cultural heritage for generations to come. Through this image, viewers are transported back in time, immersing themselves in both religious devotion and artistic brilliance that define Genoa's rich history and spiritual legacy.
